i)* A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against resolutions

ii) Any votes that give discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "For" total.

iii) At close of business of 17 September 2019 there were 32,502,716 shares in issue.

The Board notes the result of Resolution 4 (the re-appointment of Nick Donaldson). From our ongoing communications with investors and proxy voting agencies, we understand that the concerns are largely in relation to Mr Donaldson being overboarded in terms of the calls on his time. The Board will consult with those shareholders who did not vote in favour to understand their views with respect to Mr Donaldson's multiple board commitments. The Board is confident that Mr Donaldson discharges effectively his role as Chairman, notwithstanding his other board commitments.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed as special business of the meeting will be uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
